>From reading online ... last wild stab in the dark ... maybe manually symlink 
the service file :

ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/dirsrv.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-
user.target.wants/

(paths might need altering?) ... I'm not sure ... I just copied and pasted, 
changed the service name.

If that doesn't work ... then you'll need to file a bug report with debian 
directly.   Maybe the sysytemd unmask is not working properly?   I can't 
really say.

Re-install / restore from backup, which I assume you are trying to avoid.
